Chapter 12, Problem 16RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason behind incorrectly classified proprioception as a general somatic motor as it innervates the muscles.
Introduction:
The central nervous system is the major control and coordinator of the body as it comprises the brain and the spinal cord. The brain is the most complex organ of the body and it is formed of the nerve cells that generate and transfer electrical impulses or information from one cell to another and provide communication between the body parts. Sensory neurons transfer sensory information to the central nervous system and the motor neurons transfer processed information from the central nervous system to the body parts.

When describing the reflex arcs and the neural pathways involved we often limit ourselves to the nerves carrying information from the muscle or tendon to the spinal cord and back. However, it should be clear from our ability to feel the tendon tap as well as the results from the Jendrassik’s maneuver test that it isn’t this simple. What other neural connections must be present ?
Bell’s Palsy affects the facial nerve and most often presents with motor symptoms only. Yet the facial nerve is a mixed sensory nerve; suggest possible reasons for this anomaly.
